Traxxas Extreme Heavy Duty Caster Blocks Left Right Pair Green TRX9135-GRN

Overview

The Traxxas Caster Blocks (c-hubs) in Extreme Heavy Duty specification represent a significant upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand maximum durability and performance from their 2WD models. These replacement left and right caster blocks are specifically engineered for the 9182-series 2WD Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kits, delivering the extra strength and reinforcement that competitive bashers and weekend warriors need when pushing their RC cars to the limit. If you're running a high-performance brushless RC buggy or short course truck and want suspension components that can genuinely handle punishment, these green caster blocks offer the perfect blend of strength and compatibility that makes them an essential upgrade for any serious RC car UK enthusiast.

Traxxas has beefed up these caster blocks with extra material throughout their design, creating a component that's built to take a pounding without cracking or bending under stress. Whether you're bashing at high speed across rough terrain, competing in local races, or simply demanding more from your RC vehicle, these Extreme Heavy Duty caster blocks provide the reliability and durability you need. The striking green colour finish not only looks great on your RC car, but also makes it easy to identify this upgraded component in your spare parts box. These are genuine Traxxas parts manufactured to the exacting standards that have made the brand synonymous with quality RC equipment in the United Kingdom and beyond.

What makes these caster blocks particularly valuable is their compatibility across the Traxxas ecosystem. While they're designed as standard replacements for 9180 and 9181-series 2WD Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kits, they're also fully compatible with non-EHD parts and Traxxas aluminium accessories, giving you maximum flexibility when building your ideal setup. This versatility means you can integrate these upgraded components into your existing RC car modifications without worrying about compatibility issues or needing to source other specific parts.

Technical Performance

These Extreme Heavy Duty caster blocks represent a fundamental upgrade in suspension durability for 2WD RC cars, particularly models using the 9182-series upgrade kit architecture. The additional material engineered into these components provides dramatically improved resistance to cracking, bending, and fatigue failure that can occur during aggressive driving, high-impact landings, and sustained racing. The precision manufacturing ensures that the geometry and alignment tolerances are maintained consistently, critical factors that directly affect your RC car's handling, steering response, and overall performance characteristics. The inclusion of proper hinge pins (3x26mm) and ball cup screws (3x15mm) ensures that all connection points are secure and durable, eliminating potential weak points in the suspension system. These components work in concert with the rest of your suspension to manage weight transfer, maintain proper anti-roll characteristics, and keep your wheels in optimal contact with the ground across varied terrain. For UK-based RC enthusiasts running brushless motors and high-capacity LiPo batteries that enable sustained high-speed driving, these Extreme Heavy Duty caster blocks are a sensible investment in longevity and consistent performance, particularly if you're pushing your RC car harder than standard components can reliably handle.
